2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

The couscous in the ngalakh give them a nice crunch!

Senegalese Ngalakh is…
2 cups steamed karaw (millet couscous)
2 tablespoons butter
4 cups of baobab fruit, soaked then strained leaving only juice

1-2 cups peanut butter (smooth, natural, unsweetened)
2 cups of sugar
1 teaspoon orange-flower water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
pinch of nutmeg
one handful of raisins
water

Basically what you’ve got is peanut butter, sugar, couscous, tropical fruit juice that looks like white sludge and a bunch of yummy flavorings. Once it’s all prepared and mixed together, you pour it up into bottles and chill it.
